A member asked:

My brother (35 ) was found to have abdominal cocoon during laporatomy for adhesion. surgery not done as cocoon covered view of organs. suggestions ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Descriptor, Not DX : "abdominal cocoon" is more of a description of the type of adhesions present rather than a specific diagnosis. Typically, we don't operate to remove adhesions unless there is a small bowel obstruction. I advise you to clarify with your brother these issues. Good luck to him.
